Samsung Galaxy Note7 to launch with Iris Scanner, IP68 rating — reports

Carl Lamiel

More rumors circulate in cyberspace in anticipation of Samsung’s next Note device, then comes this one: renowned mobile leaker Evan Blass confirms that the Korean tech conglomerate will skip 6 and will go on to launch the Samsung Galaxy Note7.

As reported last month, Samsung is looking into synchronizing the product lines to eliminate any inconsistency with an image that can occur as numbers of two products’ brands are different. This could very well mean that from this year on, the Note and the flagship Galaxy S series will bear the same number in each year of release.

Also confirmed through Blass is the inclusion of an optical iris scanner in the device. It definitely is not the first time we’ve seen that feature on a smartphone, but would be exciting to see since this would be the first Samsung device to bear one, in case these reports bear truth.

Samsung Galaxy Note7 specs (preliminary, rumored)
5.7″ QHD sAMOLED display @  2560×1440 pixels, 515ppi
64GB internal storage
storage expansion via microSD
12MP DualPixel AF rear camera with Dual LED Flash
5MP front camera
IP68 water resistance rating
Colors: Black, Silver, Blue

Blass has been known to unveil devices before they are even announced, and has been a trusted source for many technology journalists. What do think will complete the Note7 spec sheet?

Samsung to jump to Galaxy Note 7, skipping 6?

In a turn of events, it seems like Samsung is bypassing the six label and going straight to naming it Galaxy Note 7  when it launches in a few months, according to a report.

In a move to eliminate any inconsistencies and to catch up to the popularity of the Galaxy S7 series, ETNews reported that the next Note device will be Note 7.

[Samsung] has decided to skip over Galaxy Note 6 to eliminate any inconsistency with an image that can occur as numbers of two products’ brands are different. It is also applying dual-edge on Note series for the first time. This is seen as Samsung Electronics’ strategy to maximize marketability of ‘Galaxy Note7’, which is considered as Samsung Electronics’ biggest anticipated product, and to widen a gap between itself and Apple.

This actually makes sense since having a number prior to the current flagship may give a feeling that it’s an outdated phone.

Additionally, we could also be seeing a dual-edge approach for the Note 7 when it comes out since the current Note only has curved edges on its back. According to the source, this could put the company superior above other phonemakers since “it has a high level of difficulty in technology.” Lastly, the source points to a mid-July or August for the official launch.

Samsung neither denied nor confirmed these reports, so do take them with a grain of salt as of now.

Would you like it better if the next phablet will be called the Galaxy Note 7?

In a tweet made by ASUS, there are some concentric circles that appear to be a camera surrounded by numbers. But, just like any other teaser, these numbers mean something and it could be that “92/4=23” suggests that the new Zenfone 3 will have a 23-megapixel camera with 92-degree wide angle lens and could shoot 4K videos — with the other ‘3’ hinting to three different variants under the series.

Meanwhile, other rumors point to it having a Snapdragon 820 processor, 5.5-inch Full HD display, 4GB RAM, and a USB Type-C port.

We will be at the launch of the Zenfone 3 so be sure to stay tuned as we bring you the latest updates regarding this much anticipated smartphone.
